    Jacob Nordangård, “The Capture of Academia – The Case of Climate Change”

    Abstract In 1988, the threat of anthropogenic climate change was declared as a common concern for mankind by the United Nations General Assembly. The same year, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded by WMO and UNEP to assess the science of human-induced climate change. The Cold War was about to be replaced by the “Warm War”. This marked a remarkable paradigm shift in which researchers confirming this theory would henceforth be allocated enormous resources compared to researchers questioning the “scientific consensus” and highlighting natural climate variations. The former would be heralded as heroes whereas the latter would to a large degree be ostracized and branded as climate deniers funded by the oil industry. How did this happen? My lecture outlines the roots of the anthropogenic climate change theory, its close connections to eugenics, the technocratic management of human and natural resources, and how climate change became anchored as a key concern for academic research in natural as well as social sciences. This refers in particular to how the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund and affiliated organizations methodically worked to influence the direction of academic research —through key institutions such as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California and the International Meteorological Institute (IMI) at the Stockholm University—since the 1950s, with the ultimate goal of establishing a world-wide digital climate mitigation system. As stated in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s 2005 Annual Review: “The warming of the climate is […] a global issue that touches every conceivable facet of human society. Therein lies our opportunity.” Climate change is ultimately about global social, political and economic control.

    David A. Hughes, “Academia and the National Security State”

    Abstract Contrary to claims about “academic freedom,” Anglo-American academia has been deeply embedded within the national security state since World War II at least, when scientific knowledge was secretly harnessed by the military, e.g., in the Manhattan Project. After the war, 70% of research funding in the United States came from federal agencies, with most of the rest coming from foundations such as Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie. The CIA exerted a powerful influence, as, for instance, when 44 US universities participated in MKULTRA research, or through the CIA’s covert control of social science research at leading universities to find more efficient ways of controlling human behaviour through “social engineering.” A new breed of “defence intellectuals” arose whose purpose was to serve power rather than apply any kind of critical thinking that might benefit society. They included war apologists, counterinsurgency experts, and specialists in psychological operations. When the extent of these problems was revealed in 1967/68, there was an outcry, yet decades later the capture of academia remains evident in its refusal to apply critical thinking to deep structural events such as “9/11” and “Covid-19” and its cheerleader role for official narratives. This marks a significant failure in academia’s much-vaunted civic duty and gives the lie to the idea that academia speaks truth to power in any fundamental sense.

    Totalitarianism, War, and Resistance in the Post-Covid Era

    Many thanks to Stephen Kerr for inviting me to give a keynote presentation for the Mise Eire festival last week. It was a very peaceful, friendly, and uplifting event with not a single fascist in sight. Thanks also to all the kind folk of Ireland who came to listen to me and to those who spoke to me afterwards. I really enjoyed getting to meet so many new people and to hear everything they had to say. And thank you to the other speakers (Melissa Ciummei, Ivor Cummins, Simon Elmer, and Neil Oliver) for some really great talks. Plenty of food for thought, as well as intellectual and spiritual nourishment! Below is the abstract for my talk, which was titled “Totalitarianism, War, and Resistance in the Post-Covid Era.” Since 2020, it has become undeniable that an attempt is underway to manufacture a novel, biodigital form of totalitarianism on a global scale, the operating system for which is technocracy. The implications of this are historic, namely, the end of the nation-state and the rights of citizenship as we have known them since the French and American Revolutions, and their replacement with a global system of total control facilitated by digital technologies and AI. The ruling classes of the world are united in this project, which can only be achieved through world war: not the kind of war that looks anything like WWI or WWII, but rather a new kind of war – Omniwar – that is being stealthily waged against the people across all areas of human existence. As a globally interoperable all-digital financial system is being built; as ministries for digital transformation spring up in every country seeking to turn political decision-making over to AI; and as data centres for powering the AI control grid appear all over the United States, a technocratic future no longer seems like science fiction. Yet, as more and more people around the world begin to see through the psychological operations used to render them passive while the architecture of their oppression is invisibly scaffolded around them, resistance is mounting. In the final analysis, the attempt by a miniscule proportion of the world’s population to subjugate and enslave the rest of humanity is doomed to failure. The people will rise, and a new era of human freedom awaits those brave enough to put down the global technocratic coup.

    Thanks once again to Flemming Blicher for reaching out after having read my book, Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (2024).
